Helios Fused Glass -Austin, Texas

Particle Palette: Frits & Powders


See why the other central Texas artists teaching powders and frits first took this class from Paul!

In Particle Palette you will free yourself from the palette of glass that you see on the shelves and learn how to design your own sheet glass and paint with light.

This class covers comprehensive overview of the many "accessory' glass types available, how glass powder behaves, and a huge arsenal of techniques using powder, frit, and more. We will also introduce you to powder wafers.

Students will take home a selection of sample tiles to uses as reference pieces for future work.

Paul's work with powders has been exhibited at the Bullseye Connection Gallery and is featured in Contemporary Glass Enameling: Fusing with Powders, Paints, and Frit by Kay Bain Weiner.
